Gifford Monument Works opened in Ada in 1936. That means we've been part of this community through nearly nine decades of change — through booms and recessions, through generations of Ada families building their lives and laying their loved ones to rest.
We're not a recent arrival. We didn't acquire another company to get here. We were here — and we've never left.
When you bring us a family name to carve into granite, we understand the weight of that. We've done it thousands of times. And we approach every one the same way — like it's the only one that matters.
All styles available in 40+ granite colors. Full installation at your Ada-area cemetery included.
The most expressive option — custom shapes, portraits, artwork, emblems. Available in all granite colors with any layout you can imagine.

Custom quoteWe coordinate directly with the cemetery — you don't have to figure out their rules on your own.
We've worked with Ada's cemeteries for generations. We know the foundation requirements, the setback rules, the people to call. That saves you time and avoids costly mistakes.
We're in Ada. Not a call center, not a regional office. When you have a question two months after the monument is set, you can call us and we'll answer.
We source granite directly. There's no supply chain layers between you and the stone. That means better pricing and fewer surprises.
88 years and counting. When you commission a memorial from Gifford, you're working with a company that will be here for the next generation of your family too.
"Gifford has been part of our family for two generations. When we lost my father, there was no question who we'd call. They treated us like family the whole way through."
